| Feb 10, 2013 at 20:59 | comment | added | Benjamin Steinberg | @HW, this question ended up being one of the most fun experiences I had on MO. It shows that by putting together several mathematicians who may never have met in person with differing areas of expertise one can pose and solve a nice problem. | |

| Feb 9, 2013 at 10:52 | comment | added | Stefan Kohl♦ | I think in the last paragraph the generators of $G$ are meant to be the projections of the elements of $U$ to the first coordinate, and similarly the $x$ in the basis in $x^{f(x)} = 1$ should rather be its projection to the first coordinate -- or am I mistaken? Otherwise -- as far as I can tell!! -- this looks right to me. -- Thanks again! | |
